Re: Inserting a line in a source member programmatically

The source physical file is an arrival sequence file.  When you write a
record to it via a program it will be added to the _end_ of the source file
member.  You don't have control over this...

One way of handling this programmatically is:

1) copy the original source member to a work file
2) clear the original source member
3) read thru the work file, writing records back to the original source
member
4) at the appropriate spot, write your new record into the original source
file
5) continue reading the old/writing to the original member until %EOF on the
work file

Subject: Inserting a line in a source member programmatically


> We are trying to search through all our program source members looking for
a specific file, and if found, insert a line of source via an RPGLE program.
When writing the new line of source, we set the sequence number (SRCSEQ)to
be between the two lines where we want to add the new line.  When the
program ends and we look at the source via SEU, the new lines are always at
the end.  The system automagically resets the sequence # of the new lines.
How do we get around this?
